For supermarkets, shops and retail chains whose supply chain has grown by accident: a structured audit of how your stock is sourced, bought, stored, moved and priced — conducted by a company that runs its own retail supply chain every single day, and answers for its own margins when the chain breaks.
Any one of these costs you money weekly. Two or more, and the audit usually pays for itself in the findings.
An audit approach — analyse first, prescribe second. We examine the whole chain from purchase order to till receipt.
Who you buy from, at what price, on what terms — benchmarked against what a 150-supplier buying operation knows the market actually charges.
Stock turns, dead stock, reorder logic and seasonality — where your cash is sleeping and what would wake it up.
How goods reach you and move between locations — routes, receiving discipline, and the cost per case of getting product to the shelf.
Margin by category and by SKU — what earns its shelf space, what's renting it for free, and where pricing is set by habit instead of arithmetic.
The gaps between invoice, storeroom and till where product and money quietly leave — and the simple controls that close them.
What we found in each lens, quantified where the data allows — no hundred-slide deck describing retail back to you.
Ordered by payback, not by fashion: the cheap quick wins first, the structural changes second, each with what it takes to do.
Written to be executed — by your team, by us, or by anyone you choose. Advice you're not locked into is advice you can trust.
Every lens above is a discipline we practise on our own P&L: we buy from 150+ suppliers, run a 12,000 ft² retail warehouse with walk-in trade, move stock on our own vehicles, and serve 210,000+ registered business customers — including, very possibly, shops like yours. When we tell you what good receiving discipline looks like, it's because ours got tested this morning.
And we'll say the quiet part ourselves, as we do on our advisory page: we're an operator, not an "independent" consultancy. If a finding points to our own wholesale supply or delivery services, we'll flag the conflict openly — and when someone else is the better answer, we'll name them instead.
The report is yours either way. Execution is a menu, not an obligation.
Take the plan and execute in-house — many clients need the diagnosis more than the hands.
